Akka Hirbawi® Kufiya

The ancient harbor of Akka (عكا, “Acre”) has borne more than just the crashing of waves. Sought after by empires spanning three continents, this Mediterranean city stands as a living symbol of Palestinian heritage and resilience. The radiant pattern of our Hirbawi Akka Kufiya, an authentic Palestinian keffiyeh scarf handmade in Palestine, reflects the vivid beauty and spirit of a town that served as a cultural gateway between Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean, and still preserves its indigenous Palestinian roots.

 

Woven at our Hirbawi Factory, the last kufiya weavery in Palestine, this traditional Palestinian keffiyeh is a tribute to Akka’s enduring identity, history, and craft. With every thread, our Akka Kufiya connects you to the rich legacy of Palestinian clothing and heritage, cherished across generations.

Every Akka Hirbawi Kufiya is woven in our factory in Palestine on vintage machines using a unique blend of about 85% cotton and high-quality polyester. This blend makes the threads strong enough for our old looms and ensures the kufiya is practical for daily use; it dries quickly and almost never needs ironing. Because each kufiya is made under challenging conditions, you may notice small imperfections; these marks are part of its story, reflecting both the realities of production under occupation and the authentic charm of traditional craftsmanship. Whether you wear it as a symbol of solidarity, as a graceful accessory, or give it as a gift, your kufiya supports our artisans and helps preserve a living Palestinian tradition.
